Here the farmer has a little cement pad with a stall for the animal to stand in. Note that these animals like to kick so the near rear leg is tied back to avoid any injury or a dumped milk bucket. Most milk stalls we've seen are much less 'suffisticated' than this one...usually a mud floor even under the roof line of a house. After ten minutes or so of individual pulling of the four teats about 3-4 litres is removed and the remaining amount is left for the calf to 'feast' on since it is hungry enough to exert the extra effort of finding the last drop.
